In vhost config file, set variables for the current environment.

DEVELOPER_MODE

SetEnv DEVELOPER_MODE [0|1]

In developer mode all errors are displayed.

ENVIRONMENT

SetEnv ENVIRONMENT [dev|preprod|default]

Environment variable is used to load local config file in etc directory (config.X.php).

LANGUAGE

SetEnv LANGUAGE [en_US|fr_FR|de_DE|...]

This variable is for multi-language websites. You create a host per language (en.website.com, fr.webiste.com...).

EXAMPLE

Basic non secure Apache virtual host for a Leafiny website :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/example/pub
    ServerName www.example.com

    SetEnv DEVELOPER_MODE 0
    SetEnv ENVIRONMENT default
    SetEnv LANGUAGE en_US

    <Directory /var/www/example/pub>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.example.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.example.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Configuration files are located in etc directory.

Rename the config file for your environment without sample extension.

Open the config file and set up MySQL configuration:

'model' => [
    'default' => [
        'db_host'       => 'localhost',
        'db_username'   => 'username',
        'db_password'   => 'password',
        'db_database'   => 'database',
        'lc_time_names' => 'en_US',
    ],
],

Config file is determined by the ENVIRONMENT environment variable (dev, preprod, default).

Others default configurations can be updated in config file (secure, session, cookie, languages, cache, mail...).

The Leafiny app is served from pub. The rest of the Leafiny file system is vulnerable because it is accessible from a browser. Setting the webroot to the pub directory in production prevents site visitors from accessing sensitive areas of the Leafiny file system from a browser.

Make all static public files available in pub directory by running deploy.php script:

php deploy.php

This script create symlinks to media and all modules static files.

By default backend route is : /admin/leafiny/

It is recommended to update the backend key (leafiny) in config file.

The default backend account is :

• Username : admin
• Password : admin

You need tu update credentials on first connexion.
